SE Please implement a Chonoscroll/PLEX system in FFXIV: ARR

[Abriael]

Chronoscrolls will not deter RMT. By definition, Chronoscrolls ARE RMT. It is just that wealthier players become the RMT for poor players who don't mind paying more money on top of their monthly subscription for an in-game boost.

EVE has PLEX, and if you go to any RMT site you'll see the RMT using PLEX as a currency for their activities.

In TERA Chronoscrolls have completely destroyed RMT. In EVE it didn't, but it still serves as a rather large obstacle, in fact RMT is a lot less widespread in EVE than in any other MMO (besides TERA).

Will it help lazy people from getting hacked? Probably. But that's not the point - the point is the effect is has on the game economy when anyone can pay $XX USD for a large amount of gil regardless of ability, level, persistence, or knowledge.

It doesn't affect the game economy at all, because no gil is inserted into it. While some people's purchase power inside the game is increased, other people's is decreased, meaning that the amount of possible big spenders remains the same.

Economy isn't mumbo jumbo, it has rules.

I'd rather have a game world where people need to think long and hard and twice before they decide to open their real world wallets to buy in-game gold. Just because restricting RMT is hard and complex doesn't mean its not worth doing completely.

I'd rather have a game where people don't need to think long and hard and twice before they decide to keep their account running, and I bet SE would rather have the same.

More accounts that stay running = more revenue for SE = more content for me, without impacting my experience in any negative way.
